CNA submitted a Maryland filing to update its Paramount General Liability program, effective September 1, 2026, introducing a monoline GL option alongside the existing package structure and replacing many proprietary forms with ISO equivalents to streamline placement and broker acceptance.

The update is rate neutral across roughly 1,000 policyholders and about $10.6 million in premium, but adds competitive enhancements including Stop Gap Liability, Employee Benefits Liability, optional cyber and drone coverage, expanded additional insured capabilities, PFAS exclusion options, and minimum premiums as low as $300.

The move positions CNA more directly against carriers offering flexible standalone GL and ISO-based programs, addressing broker demand for simpler structures and broader optional liability add-ons.
